Prayers for my family
Posted: Mon Jan 31, 2011 10:32 am
All, I haven't been active on the forums for quite some time because of all the personal issues we're dealing with, but we could really use some prayers. I'll try and give you the short version.
My mom has been a Type 1 Diabetic for the last 30 years. Anyway, a couple of days before Christmas she had a low blood sugar episode while driving and crashed her car pretty badly. She broke 9 ribs (luckily she hit a light pole and so nobody else was hurt). Anyway, in the hospital they did a CT scan to look for internal injuries and other than the 9 broken ribs, she didn't have any internal injuries. But they did find a huge tumor in her lung. It's roughly 7cm x 9cm. Anyway, we finally got all the results back from the two biopsies they took, and she definitely has non-small cell carcinoma, of the Large cell variety. She had a PET scan on friday to determine how far it has spread so that they can come up with the options. She gets the results back tomorrow. I fear the worst based on the size of her tumor.
Well in addition to that, while she was in the hospital my dad found out he has intermeddiate stage prostate cancer, and he will be undergoing 9 straight weeks of radiation therapy. It's bad enough to have to deal with 1 person having cancer, but two is going to be very difficult. Anyway, we could really use some prayers. I'll try and update this thread as we get more information.
